ACV stops my dog from urinating in the house

My 12 year old formerly housebroken Black Lab, Raven, started drinking large amounts of water and urinating in the house.

I had her checked out by the vet who ran a UA and bloodwork to rule out kidney problems, diabetes or a urinary tract infection, but all came out normal. She decided that it may have to do with her advancing age and suggested confining her to a bathroom while I was away from home.

Raven does not do well in a small space so I started doing research to see if there was any natural remedies I could give her. I decided to try a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar in her water since I heard that it helps with possible urinary tract infections. Lo and behold, the next day she stopped urinating in the house!

I administered it to her for a few months and then stopped to see if the problem had improved. In a few days she was right back to peeing on the carpet again, so I knew the ACV was actually working.

I took her to the vet recently for another checkup and her tests continued to come back normal so I resumed the ACV.

She doesn't seem to mind the taste of the vinegar in her water and still drinks quite a bit but I have not noticed any more wet spots on the carpet as long as I continue to put it in her water every day.
